A shift away from Queensland's COVID-19 check in app has been announced as the state records another 19 virus-related deaths and 4701 new cases.
The change follows case numbers appearing to have peaked in the state on February 4.
Check-ins will be removed at venues where proof of vaccination is not required, such as supermarkets, retail outlets, hairdressers and gyms from Monday.
But the app still provides an easy way to check the vaccination status of patrons at pubs, clubs and cafes, Health minister Yvette D'Ath said.
"We are still requiring mandatory vaccination for customers and consumers in those high risk settings," she said.
"Businesses are still having to ask people whether they're vaccinated or not, so that check-in is actually helping them do that."
Hospital numbers continue to decrease in the state, with 663 positive cases currently in the public system, 41 of whom are in ICU.
Additionally, there are 61 patients with the virus in private hospitals, with two in ICU.
"The trend...is rapidly down across Queensland, and we're expecting to see that trajectory to continue throughout February," Chief Health Officer John Gerrard said.
Of the 19 deaths reported on Monday, all were over 60 and 10 were aged care residents.
Only one person had received a booster, and nine were unvaccinated.
There has been a total of 151 deaths in aged care in Queensland since the start of the pandemic.
Meanwhile, Queensland children are returning to class on Monday with authorities saying an outbreak in schools is inevitable, but it is unlikely any will be shut down.
Face masks are mandatory in high schools and strongly recommended for students in years three-to-six, while schools must ensure adequate classroom ventilation.
Just under 40 per cent of five-to-11-year-olds have had one vaccine dose.
Cases numbers are expected to increase as students head back to the class room and workers are encouraged to go into the office.
"Thankfully this is not happening at the same time as we are peaking across Queensland," Ms D'Ath said.
The state continues to edge towards the 90 per cent double dose threshold, with 89.94 per cent of eligible people aged 16 and over having received at least two jabs.
